The same-sex dance couple follow in the footsteps of John Whaite and Johannes Radebe
Layton Williams said that he was “surprised” to be partnered with professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin on Strictly Come Dancing.
“But I feel like, even over the last few days, we’ve spent so much time together this week, we’re raring to go.” Talking about the spot where they met, Layton said: “It was so beautiful, we met each other on this part of town that overlooks the whole city, but it’s really nostalgic for me, it’s where I used to go with my grandparents and just go for like cute walks when I was a kid and I’ve literally not been there since I was a kid.
“It’s just honestly such a cool moment.” Layton, who is an experienced dancer and performer, having starred in the musicals Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Billy Elliot: The Musical, said that he was “ready” for any criticism from the judges. He said: “I’m ready. I’m an actor so part of my job is to do something and then the director comes up to me and be like ‘child you better do that better, because I wasn’t believing it.
